Man sentenced to life in prison in 2015 fatal shooting in Montgomery

A man has been sentenced after pleading guilty in a fatal shooting that happened in Montgomery in 2015.

Montgomery County District Attorney Daryl Bailey said Eric Abram, Jr., has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to fatally shooting Deandre Mungro in 2015.

The sentence was given by Circuit Court Judge J.R. Gaines.

Bailey said no charges were initially filed due to a lack of evidence, but years of investigation led to a murder indictment being issued.

He said the motive for the shooting was based on Abram’s belief that the victim was involved in the death of his brother.

On May 23, 2015, Mungro was walking home from the store when Abram pulled up next to him in a vehicle and shot him once in the head, killing him, Bailey said. The shooting happened in the 3000 block of Shenandoah Drive.

Mungro’s involvement in the death of Abram’s brother was never proven, according to Bailey.
